The Metcalf Foundation recently commissioned a paper on local sustainable food in Southern Ontario. This paper aims to contribute to a broader understanding of food system dynamics in this province, and is intended as a backdrop for discussions on how Ontario could move toward a truly local sustainable food system through collaboration and the identification of key leverage points for food system change.

OMAFRA’s Policy Capacity Secretariat is hosting a presentation of the report’s key findings by Ruth Richardson from the Metcalf Foundation. This will be followed by a panel discussion in response to the report. There will be ample opportunity for dialogue between the audience and the panellists.
